Facts  for  Advertisers. 


The  amount  of  money  spent  in  the  newspapers  by  the  leading 
advertisers  of  trie  country  is  something  enormous,  running  into  the 
tens  of  millions  annually.  There  are  many  large  firms  whose 
principal  item  of  expense  in  running  their  business  is  advertising. 
If  their  advertising  is  not  productive  of  good  results,  they  must. do 
business  at  a  loss.  To  ascertain,  then,  the  best  means  of  reaching 
consumers  of  the  article  advertised,  for  the  money  invested,  must  be 
the  care  and  study  of  the  judicious  advertiser.  As  a  general  rule, 
wherever  the  advertiser  has  intelligently  exercised  this  judgment 
he  has  been  successful  and  prosperous,  and  -where  he  has  failed  to 
properly  grasp  the  situation  he  has  generally  been  a  failure. 

How  to  reach  the  consumers  of  the  articles  advertised  through  such 
mediums  as  have  the  least  waste — that  is,  papers  that  go  to  the  family 
and  are  read  in  the  home  circle — is  ever  the  study  and  aim  of  the  judi- 
cious and  successful  advertiser.  What  class  of  papers  have  the  most 
waste  for  the  advertiser — that  is,  papers  that  are  glanced  over  for  a 
market  report  or  a  telegram,  and  then  thrown  away  ?  Most  undoubt- 
edly the  daily  papers.  Not  so  -with  the  home  country  paper.  There 
is  comparatively  no  waste  to  the  advertiser  in  the  country  news- 
papers, for,  -with  the  exception  of  the  few  exchanges,  every  copy 
printed  goes  into  the  homes  of  paid  subscribers,  and  is  some- 
times read  over  and  over  again  during  the  week.  A  country 
weekly  of  one  thousand  circulation  can  do  better  service  for  an 
advertiser  than  a  daily 'of  five  thousand  circulation.  The  country 
weekly  goes  into  the  family,  has  less  of  its  space  devoted  to 
unseemly  display  and  unsightly  cuts,  is  conservative  and  not  sensa- 
tional. Every  copy  of  it  is  read  in  the  home,  while  the  daily  is  thrown 
aside  on  the  streets,  in  stores,  around  railroad  depots,  on  the  trains 
and  street  cars  after  the  merest  perusal  of  its  columns.  The  adver- 
tiser, as  a  general  rule,  gets  all  he  pays  for  in  the  country  home  paper. 
This  is  especially  the  case  with  advertisers  in  the  co-operative 
papers,  because  there  is  rarely  more  than  one  and  a  half  to  two 
columns  of  advertising  on  the  co-operative  pages  to  confuse  the 
reader  and  divide  his  interest.     It  is  a  well-known  fact  that  the  most 


/In     yt.fi    *v-  ^ 


CHICAGO  NEWSPAPER  UNION  LISTS. 


enterprising  and  extensive  as  well  as  the  most  progressive  and  suc- 
cessful advertisers  in  America  are  regular  patrons  of  the  co-oper- 
atives, while  those  who  have  failed  to  make  advertising  a  success 
rarely  if  ever  patronized  their  columns.  A  glance  at  the  advertise- 
ments of  our  patrons  in  our  papers,  and  a  perusal  of  the  testimo- 
nials elsewhere  in  this  catalogue,  will  convince  the  reader  of  the 
truth  of  this  assertion. 

Again :  The  shrewd  advertiser  should  take  into  consideration, 
when  about  to  invest  his  money,  the  character  of  the  readers  of  the 
different  mediums  presented  to  him  for  consideration.  If  the  owner 
of  a  proprietary  medicine,  for  instance,  should  desire  to  invest 
$100,000  in  newspaper  advertising,  from  -what  class  of  mediums 
might  he  reasonably  expect  the  best  returns  for  his  money  ?  Most 
undoubtedly  from  the  home  country  weekly  newspapers,  and  for  the 
following  reasons :  Take  a  large  city  of  a  million  people  that  would 
necessarily  have  to  be  reached  by  the  advertiser  through  daily  papers. 
Of  this  population  a  large  per  cent,  are  poor  people,  unable  to  pur- 
chase anything  but  the  bare  necessities  of  life,  and  consequently 
unable  to  respond  to  anything  calling  for  an  outlay  of  over  a  few 
cents.  This  class  of  people  are  reached,  if,  indeed,  they  can  be 
reached  at  all,  at  heavy  cost  through  the  cheap  penny  daily  papers. 
Another  class  of  people  in  the  large  cities  that  are  of  little  value  for 
the  consumption  of  proprietary  medicines  are  the  rich.  They  hardly 
ever  purchase  a  bottle  of  patent  medicine,  but  employ  their  family 
physician  upon  every  occasion  of  complaint  in  a  member  of  their 
family,  no  matter  of  how  trivial  a  nature.  This  class  is  reached  at 
great  expense  by  the  large  daily  papers.  Taking  these  two  great 
classes  out  of  the  population  of  a  large  city,  and  the  advertiser  would 
have  to  depend  upon  the  remainder  for  custom  to  purchase  his  goods 
and  make  his  advertising  profitable.  Now,  how  about  the  chances 
of  this  same  advertiser  in  a  population  of  a  million  people  in  the 
towns,  villages,  and  farm  homes  of  the  country,  reached  and  regu- 
larly visited  by  the  local  home  papers  ?  No  class  too  poor  here 
to  purchase  a  bottle  of  medicine  or  a  box  of  pills  when  they  need 
them.  No  class  so  aristocratic  as  to  sneer  at  patent  medicines, 
and  employ  only  a  pampered  physician  in  time  of  illness  at  his  own 
price.  Nearly  every  one  of  this  million  people,  reached  by  the  local 
home  papers,  uses  patent  medicines  in  one  -way  or  another,  and  has 
the  means  to  purchase  them.  Surely  the  advertiser's  field  would  be 
more  profitable  here  than  in  the  great  city.  This  same  argument 
holds  good  for  other  advertising  as  well  as  proprietary  medicines. 

And  now,  a  word  upon  the  co-operative  newspapers  as  they  are 
to-day,  in   comparison  with  -what  they  -were   in  the   early  days  of 


CHICAGO  NEWSPAPER  UNION  LISTS. 


their  existence.  THE  CHICAGO  NEWSPAPER  UNION  is  the  pio- 
neer in  tne  newspaper  co-operative  business,  its  Milwaukee  list 
being  established  in  1864,  the  first  co-operative  list  in  this  or  any- 
other  country.  Like  all  new  enterprises,  the  co-operative  news- 
papers of  the  early  days  lacked  many  of  the  essentials  needed  to 
induce  the  better  class  of  country  newspapers  to  adopt  the  system. 
From  a  crude  and  small  beginning  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago,  the 
co-operative  system  has  grown  to  be  an  enormous  business,  embrac- 
ing at  the  present  time  over  7,000  American  newspapers.  So  perfect 
has  the  system  been  made,  and  so  complete  its  methods  for  supply- 
ing the  needs  of  country  publishers,  that  its  adoption  by  them  has 
been  the  means  of  improving  and  elevating  the  standard  and  char- 
acter of  American  newspapers  fully  thirty  per  cent.  The  CHICAGO 
NEWSPAPER  UNION  has  kept  abreast  of  its  competitors  in  improv- 
ing, perfecting  and  amplifying  the  system.  We  have  now  seven 
different  publication  houses,  in  various  parts  of  the  country,  from 
which  we  furnish  our  patrons  with  papers  iu  the  different  States 
covered  by  our  Lists.  In  this  way  we  have  localized  the  busi- 
ness, making  the  papers  of  local  interest  in  the  communities 
where  they  are  read.  In  the  early  days  the  report  of  a  national 
convention  or  some  enterprise  of  national  importance  was 
about  as  near  as  the  co-operative  system  came  to  be  of  local 
interest  to  its  readers.  All  this  is  now  changed.  With  our  publica- 
tion houses  located  at  convenient  distances  from  one  another,  -we 
can  give  the  details  of  State,  Congressional,  and  County  Conven- 
tions, as  well  as  the  reports  of  State  and  County  Fairs  and  other 
important  matters  of  local  interest  in  each  locality,  thus  making  the 
co-operative  sides  of  the  papers  of  local  as  well  as  of  general  interest 
to  the  readers.  In  this  "way  we  have,  for  the  past  few  years  especially, 
attracted  to  our  lists  a  large  number  of  the  best  country  papers  for- 
merly printed  all  at  home,  simply  because  their  readers  demanded 
such  news  as  we  were  furnishing,  and  such  news  as  they  had  to  have 
in  order  to  hold  them  as  subscribers,  and  such  news  as  the  average 
country  publisher  could  not  get  nor  afford  to  print  himself.  "We 
have  upon  our  lists  papers  attracted  in  this  -way  of  from  1,600  to  2,000, 
and  some  as  high  as  3,000,  circulation.  Of  course,  while  we  have 
many  papers  of  this  kind,  the  greater  number  run  from  500  to  1,000 
copies  per  week.  We  refer  to  the  larger  circulation  simply  to  show 
that  onr  co-operative  papers  are  improving  and  increasing  in  circu- 
lation steadily,  and  are,  therefore,  of  greater  importance  to  adver- 
tisers than  ever  before.

The  Country  Paper. — The  country  paper  is  taken  by  the  best  citizens  of  the 
country  towns.  The  class  who  have  the  most  pride  in  sustaining  a  country  paper 
are  the  best  among  whom  to  circulate  your  announcement. 

Construction  of  Advertisements. — If  you  have  not  done  any  general 
advertising,  and  are  at  a  loss  to  know  how  to  construct  your  advertisement,  simply 
give  us  the  points  as  to  the  article  you  wish  advertised,  the  space  you  wish  it  to 
occupy,  and  we  will  get  you  up  an  advertisement  most  suitable  to  your  wants,  and 
submit  it  to  you  for  your  approval — free  of  all  charge. 

We  have  made  this  a  special  feature  of  our  business  for  years,  and  are  very  con- 
fident of  our  ability  to  please  you  in  every  way. 

How  TO  Reach  Farmers. — Manufacturers  and  dealers  in  agricultural  imple- 
ments, seedsmen,  and  other  persons  desirous  of  obtaining  the  farmers'  trade,  can  do 
so  by  advertising  in  these  papers.  For  what  farmer  (or  farmer's  family)  is  there  but 
reads  the  local  paper  of  his  own  town  ?  How  eagerly  its  arrival  is  looked  for,  and 
how  thoroughly  it  is  read — locals,  miscellaneous  matter,  news,  advertisements  and 
all — not  a  line  passed  over.  It  is  read  and  re-read,  and  holds  its  sway  over  the 
household  for  the  whole  week,  till  the  next  issue  is  out,  when  the  interest  is  renewed; 
and  thus  it  is  each  week  with  these  local  country  papers.  They  are  the  one  sensible 
and  economical  way  of  reaching  the  farmer  and  his  family,  who  believe  what  their 
own  home  paper  publishes — both  reading-matter  and  advertisements.

Estimates. — It  affords  us  pleasure  to  give  estimates  of  the  cost  of  advertising 
in  any  of  our  lists,  whether  for  one  insertion  or  one  year.  It  will  cost  you  nothing  to 
get  our  figures,  and  may  save  you  money. 

Very  few  advertisers  realize  the  fact  that  people  in  country  towns  have  few 
facilities  for  purchasing  their  goods.  For  this  reason,  as  a  general  rule,  they  resort 
to  the  advertising  columns  of  their  local  paper,  thereby  making  it  what  the  daily 
paper  of  a  large  city  is  to  its  readers — their  shopping  guide;  consequently,  advertisers 
who  are  looking  for  this  trade  cannot  find  better  mediums  than  the  papers  in  this  list. 

Legitimate  Advertising. — It  has  long  been  conceded  by  experienced  adver- 
tisers that  Newspaper  Advertising  is  the  only  legitimate  mode  of  securing  the 
general  attention  of  the  public.  There  are  few  families  in  this  great  country  who  do 
not  receive  regularly  a  newspaper,  and  in  the  smaller  communities  the  local  home 
paper  is  the  first  sought  for.  The  present  very  low  prices  of  subscription  charged 
for  the  average  weekly  paper  place  it  within  every  home,  even  the  most  humble, 
with  scarcely  a  single  exception. 

An  Old  Advertiser's  Advice. — An  old  advertiser,  who  has  expended  much 
money  in  newspaper  advertising  and  received  satisfactory  results  therefrom,  recently 
gave  this  advice  to  a  new  and  inexperienced  advertiser.  Said  he:  "Legitimate 
newspaper  advertising  will  pay  you  if  you  use  space  judiciously.  First,  make  your 
announcement  as  brief  as  possible,  and  continue  the  same  for  a,  length  of  time  that 
will  be  sufficient  to  convince  readers  that  you  are  established  upon  a  firm  basis. 
Second,  do  not  promise  what  yoit  cannot  fulfill.  If  you  deceive  one  purchaser,  it 
will  keep  hundreds  of  others  from  coming  to  you."  This  is  the  secret  of  success  in 
advertising.  A  small  advertisement,  neatly  displayed  and  printed  in  a  manner  that 
will  attract  the  attention  of  the  reader,  cannot  fail  to  bring  satisfactory  results,  if 
there  is  any  merit  in  the  article  for  which  the  advertiser  desires  to  create  a  demand; 
and  no  newspapers  are  more  valuable  in  this  connection  than  those  enumerated  upon 
the  pages  of  this  Catalogue.

JUST  What  It  Is. — We  do  not  claim  every  paper  upon  this  list  to  have  a  large 
circulation,  but  we  do  claim  that  the  aggregate  number  of  copies  circulated  by  these 
eight  hundred  and  fifty  different  publications  is  very  large,  and  will  prove  it  to  the 
satisfaction  of  advertisers. 


Quick  Returns. — If  you  have  anything  you  wish  to  advertise  and  place  be- 
fore the  public  at  once,  and  at  a  nominal  expense,  you  cannot  do  better,  than  by 
using  the  papers  in  their  lists. 

Your  advertisement  can  be  inserted  in  the  entire  list  of  over  1,000  papers  within 
one  week  of  its  receipt  at  our  office,  hence  insuring  you  quick  returns  from  your 
investment.

An  Advertisement  should  appeal  to  the  eye. 

An  Advertisement  should  state  facts  and  nothing  but  facts. 

An  Advertisement  should  convince  the  reader  of  its  true  merits. 

An  Advertisement  should  represent  an  element  of  superiority  and  novelty. 

An  Advertisement  should  attract  the  understanding  and  convey  a  well-de- 
fined impression. 

An  Advertisement  should  offer  something  that  the  people  want  but  cannot 
get  everywhere  on  equally  good  terms. 

OUR  Lists  represent  the  best  weekly  papers  published  in  the  Northwest,  and 
in  many  .instances  they  cover  exclusive  territory. 

The  Way  to  Reach  Them. — The  attention  of  the  numerous  readers  of  these 
Lists  should  be  called  to  anything  and  everything  that  is  generally  offered  for  sale 
by  the  countless  general  storekeepers  of  the  vast  Northwest. 

Make  It  Attractive. — To  be  prominent  in  a  crowd  a  person  must  have 
marked  characteristics.  So  with  an  advertisement.  In  order  to  catch  the  eye  of  the 
reader  quickly,  and  produce  the  best  result,  it  must  have  an  attractive  feature  and 
be  clear,  definite  and  fresh. 

An  Advantage. — By  using  our  Lists  an  advertiser  can  cover  a  certain  section  ot 
the  country  and  know  just  where  it  is,  whereas  by  using  large  weekly  papers  of  gen- 
eral circulation  he  may  offer.,  his  goods  in  many  communities  where  it  would  be 
impossible  to  create  a  demand  for  them. 

High  Average. — The  papers  represented  in  this  Catalogue  have  a  high  average 
circulation,  for  the  reason  that  the  co-operative  side  of  the  same  is  edited  regardless 
of  expense.  Many  papers  have  nearly  doubled  their  circulation  within  the  past 
year.     Our  editorial  service  is  appreciated  by  the  readers. 

Newspaper  Advertising  may  be  compared  to  a  vigilant  and  watchful  sales- 
man, who  goes  after  business  early  and  late;  who  accosts  the  manufacturer  in  his 
office,  the  professor  in  his  study,  the  retired  man  of  wealth  at  the  family  fireside, 
who  can  be  in  a  thousand  places  at  once,  addressing  millions  of  people  each  day, 
saying  the  right  thing  in  the  right  place  and  at  the  right  time.  Particularly  is  this 
so  of  the  newspapers  represented  in  this  Catalogue.

County  Seats. — We  desire  to  call  the  attention  of  advertisers  to  the  large 
number  of  eounty  seat  papers  represented  by  our  Lists.  Each  town-marked  thus  [*] 
is  a  county  seat. 

Testimonials. — The  attention  of  advertisers  is  called  to  the  testimonials  of 
some  of  our  old  patrons,  which  will  be  found  upon  other  pages  of  this  catalogue. 
They  speak  for  themselves,  and  are  well  worth  perusal. 

Create  a  Demand. — Manufacturers  of  any  article  of  merit  can  create  a  de- 
mand for  the  same,  and  compel  wholesale  and  retail  dealers  to  carry  it  in  stock  and 
sell  it,  by  advertising  in  the  Lists  shown  in  this  Catalogue. 

The  True  Theory  of  Advertising. — All  advertising  is  based  on  the 
assumption  of  widely  diffused  wealth  and  intelligence ;  in  a  word,  that  there  are 
many  persons  in  all  communities  who  need  many  things,  both  useful  and  orna- 
mental, and  who  are  able  to  pay  for  them,  but  do  not  know  of  whom  to  buy  them  on 
the  most  favorable  terms.  In  this  country  especially,  where  inventions  in  useful 
articles  are  so  numerous,  the  advertisement  is  frequently  the  most  useful  matter  in 
the  paper. 

Weekly  Newspapers. — Our  Lists  are  composed  chiefly  of  weekly  newspa- 
pers. These  publications  reach  that  large  class  of  readers  and  consumers  who  cannot 
afford  the  luxury  of  a  daily  paper,  and  therefore  content  themselves  with  keeping  up 
with  the  world's  affairs  through  the  information  derived  from  their  local  weekly 
journal.  Like  the  metropolitan  daily,  it  is  a  link  in  the  chain  which  energetic  ad- 
vertisers find  necessary  to  connect  themselves  with  the  purchasing  and  consuming 
public,  and  which  they  cannot  afford  to  ignore  when  placing  their  orders.

EVIDENCE  OF  CORRECT  INSERTION. 


Advertisers  will  appreciate  the  fact  that  the  sending  of  a  copy  of  each  paper 
re  print  every  week  to  the  different  parties  who  patronize  our  columns  would  be  a 
ery  expensive  undertaking,  as  the  cost  of  1,245  papers  per  week,  together  with  the 
lailing  and  postage,  would  often  exceed  the  amount  received  for  a  small  advertise- 
lent.  It  is  our  intention,  however,  to  satisfy  the  most  skeptical  advertiser  that  we 
<ecute  all  contracts  to  the  letter,  and  in  order  that  this  may  be  done  we  hold  files 
f  our  different  Lists  open  to  inspection  at  all  times  at  offices  of  publication  and  at 
ur  New  Yor..  office,  No.  10  Spruce  street,  second  floor. 

We  invite  the  closest  scrutiny  of  our  methods  of  doing  business,  and  take 
ieasure  in  extending  to  advertisers  every  possible  facility  for  the  examination  of 
ork  done.  It  affords  us  pleasure  to  have  our  advertising  patrons  check  up  our 
es,  for  we  have  yet  to  have  one  who  has  done  so  express  anything  but  the  utmost 
.tisfaction  at  the  result. 

For  the  guidance  of  advertisers,  we  mail  to  each,  during  the  existence  of  a 
mtract,  a  Record  Paper  giving  the  number  and  names  of  papers  printed  every 
eek  at  our  different  offices  of  publication,  and  showing  each  advertisement  as  it 
•pears  in  all  the  papers  upon  the  List.  Our  papers  are  printed  from  matter  stereo - 
ped  in  pages,  and  when  an  advertisement  is  once  made  up  in  a  form  it  must  stay 
ere  and  go  through  the  whole  List.  With  our  system  the  omission  of  an  adver- 
iement  from  a  few  papers  is  impossible.  As  to  the  reliability  of  our  methods,  we 
fer  to  advertisers  who  have  been  with  us  longest,  and  who  are  thoroughly  con- 
rsant  with  our  mode  of  doing  business. 


WHERE    THEY    CIRCULATE. 


With  a  view  of  showing  advertisers  at  a  glance  in  what  section  of  territory  our 
sts  circulate,  we  have  placed  in  the  back  part  of  this  catalogue  a  map  showing 
3  towns  in  which  the  papers  are  printed  and  delivered  to  subscribers.  It  is 
trth  scrutinizing. 


COUNTY-SEAT    PAPERS. 


The  attention  of  advertisers  is  called  to  the  large  number  of  county-seat  papers 
shown  in  our  different  Lists.  Each  town  named  before  which  appears  an  asterisk  (*) 
is  a  county  seat.

TESTIMONIALS 


"We  could  give  page  after  page  of  testimonials  from  advertising 
patrons  did  we  deem  it  advisable  for  either  our  customers  or  our- 
selves to  do  so.  We  have  never  heretofore  published  testimonials 
in  our  Catalogues,  and  give  the  following  only  to  show  the  opinion 
in  which  we  are  held  by  our  present  advertising  patrons.  The  pro- 
prietors of  the  Chicago  Newspaper  Union  are  not  only  the  pioneers 
in  the  co-operative  newspaper  system,  but  they  were  the  ORIGIN- 
ATORS AND  THE  FIRST  TO  SOLICIT  AND  PRINT  ADVERTISE- 
MENTS UPON  THE  CO-OPERATIVE  PLAN  as  well.  We  can  show 
to-day  copies  of  the  newspapers  in  which  the  first  advertisements 
upon  the  co-operative  plan  appeared,  as  far  back  as  1865.  Ever  since 
then  we  have  been  constantly  dealing  with  the  advertising  public, 
and  have  received  thousands  cf  unsolicited  testimonials  attesting  to 
the  value  of  our  mediums  and  complimenting  us  upon  our  methods 
of  doing  business.  "We  could  give  an  array  of  these  that  ■would  fill 
several  catalogues,  but  content  ourselves  with  publishing  the  fol- 
lowing, which  are  representative  in  their  character,  and  at  present 
among  our  numerous  advertising  patrons.
